ASCP 2025 Wage Survey: Capturing Data of the Nation’s Clinical Laboratory Workforce

ASCP launched its 2025 Wage Survey on April 1, collecting responses from more than 10,000 laboratory professionals across the United States. The survey has since closed. This comprehensive biennial survey continues ASCP’s longstanding commitment—since 1988—to provide the most current and reliable wage data on the nation’s clinical laboratory workforce. As the primary source of wage information used by academic institutions, government agencies, and industry analysts, the survey offers insights into the state of the profession. With the field of laboratory medicine evolving rapidly, the survey also serves as a platform for ASCP members to share their experiences, concerns, and suggestions.  

Additionally, ASCP’s survey has helped laboratory professionals advocate for improved wage compensation and workplace conditions. Findings from our 2023 Wage Survey identified significant salary increases since our 2021 survey. The 2025 survey aims to build on this critical data, helping to inform workforce planning, policy development, and continue advocacy efforts that support the laboratory profession.  

You can access the 2023 Wage Survey results here.
